Crucified

Look in my eyes
What do you see lurking inside
No way to disguise
Your fear of me
My hunger for pain satisfied
The torment, it eats you alive
There's no hope in Hell - crucified
Pretending to feel
What's in my heart isn't for real
I see no other way
Believe me
I've no mercy and you are my prey
The torment, it eats you alive
There's no hope in Hell - crucified
The torment, it eats you alive
There's no hope in Hell - crucified
The torment, it eats you alive
There's no hope in Hell - crucified

Burnin' Up

Oh, it's burnin' inside me
This feeling starting to grow
Well, it seems like forever
Embers of love, they still glow
One by one, it falls into place
Reaching for the dreams that we chase
Burn, burn, burn
Feeling like there's no escape for me
Waiting for the page to turn
Living by the powers to be
As I look in the mirror
A stranger stares back at me
No rhyme and no reason
I can't believe what I see
One by one, it falls into place
Reaching for the love we embrace
Burn, burn, burn
Feeling like there's no escape for me
Waiting for the page to turn
Living by the powers to be
I'm gonna burn, burn, burn
I'm gonna get it out some way
Waiting for the page to turn
I'm gonna get it right someday
Burn, burn, burn
Feeling like there's no escape for me
Waiting for the page to turn
Living by the powers to be
I'm gonna burn, burn, burn
I'm gonna get it out some way
Waiting for the page to turn
I'm gonna get it right someday
Burn, burn, burn
Feeling like there's no escape for me
Waiting for the page to turn
Living by the powers to be
Burn, burn, burn
I'm gonna get it out some way
Waiting for the page to turn
I'm gonna get it right someday

Layin' Down the Law

I've waited for so many years
There's nothing left except a tear
In silence I've bided, my time will come
As the hammer is falling it blackens the sun
Waging a war on humanity
As I look to the wind, counting the sins in spite of me
Laying down the law
No hope for tomorrow
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
There's no other way
I've tried to hide my face of shame
From out of the darkness, it's started
I must reclaim my will
The voices are calling, they're screaming my name
Put an end to this madness, erasing the pain
Waging a war on humanity
As I look to the wind, the ending begins, begins with me
Laying down the law
No hope for tomorrow
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
There's no other way
Laying down the law
You've ignored all the warnings
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
It must be this way
Laying down the law
No hope for tomorrow
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
There's no other way
Laying down the law
You've ignored all the warnings
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
It must be this way
Laying down the law
No hope for tomorrow
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
There's no other way
Laying down the law
You've ignored all the warnings
Don't you see I'm laying down the law
It must be this way

Awakening

Give me a sign, what we're about to undertake
Defending all beliefs
Crossing the line, every limit that we break
The vengeance is released
Moving in, now we move in for the kill
No mercy in our hearts
Ready and counting
The tension mounting in me
Awakening the beast
That lives inside of me
Awakening the beast
Nothing but evil in me
Craving the fear, feel the danger everywhere
Emotion fades away
Sadistic thoughts, devouring minds
Compassion left behind
Ready and counting
The tension mounting in me
Awakening the beast
That lives inside of me
Awakening the beast
Nothing but evil
Awakening the beast
That lives inside of me
Awakening the beast
Nothing but evil in me
Awakening the beast
That lives inside of me
Awakening the beast
And there's nothing but evil, nothing but evil in me

The Altar

Opening the doorway of affliction
Opening the gates of Hell
Here I stand, the evil addiction
No return, no parallel
This energy, it's pulling me
Into the dark, over and over again
Proceed, on our way
The possession has started
The altar of evil, it lives
Believe and obey
The altar of evil
Condemning and never forgives
Summoning, disciples of deception
Carry out the one command
Conjuring, the deadliest devotion
We are one, come take my hand
This energy, it's pulling me
Into the dark, over and over again
Proceed, on our way
The possession has started
The altar of evil, it lives
Believe and obey
The altar of evil
Condemning and never forgives
This energy, it's pulling me
Into the dark, over and over again
Proceed, on our way
The possession has started
The altar of evil, it lives
Believe and obey
The altar of evil
Condemning and never forgives
Proceed, on our way
The possession has started
The altar of evil, it lives
Believe and obey
The altar of evil
Condemning and never forgives

On Our Way (to Hell)

Playing with the devil, it's just another day
Living for some trouble, that's my way
I'm afraid of nothing, oh I'm living free
Cheap little thrills, it's the one thing that I need
I'm only feeding on your needs, eat you alive
Inside you're twisted just like me
Dirty double dealings, a nightmare come alive
I'm the poison running through your veins
Look at your reflections, am I your evil twin
Breaking all the rules, now let the games begin
I'm only feeding on your needs, eat you alive
Inside you're twisted just like me
Fuelling your desire, I'm your darkest fear
On our way to Hell
Survival of the fittest, all penalties severe
On our way to Hell
Craving what I'm giving, all the sins we're living
Am I truly evil, take my hand, one day you'll find the way
Fuelling your desire, I'm your darkest fear
On our way to Hell
Survival of the fittest, all penalties severe
On our way to Hell
Fuelling your desire, I'm your darkest fear
On our way to Hell
Survival of the fittest, all penalties severe
On our way to Hell

Unlock (the Mystery)

In the darkest nights
I can hear the voices warning me
Fire through the skies
Ignite the flames of Hell, our destiny
Fighting this endless war
Searching to find the door to free our souls
Giving us back all the hope we once held
Forgiving no one's sins
Cries from Hell, in terror, calling me
Lurking in the wind
Shadows of our deadliest enemy
Fighting to end this war
Praying to find one door to free our souls
Giving us all back the hope we once held
Unlock the mystery
Again the night is haunting me
What's left to believe in
One hope is all that's driving me on
Leading me on, it shows me the way
To not be afraid anymore
Fighting to end this war
Praying to find one door to free our souls
Giving us all back the hope we once held
Unlock the mystery
Again the night is haunting me
What's left to believe in
One hope is all that's driving me on
Leading me on, it shows me the way
To not be afraid anymore

Peace of Mind

Well, I'm running from the law, but I got no place to go
It always seems to be that way for me
I've been dealt a dirty hand, no I'll never understand
I just roll the dice and watch in disbelief
I don't know if I'll ever learn
Only trouble in my way
Danger lurking around every turn
And it's growing every day
I can't say what it is that I've been looking for
Maybe just a little peace of mind
As I fade away from the life that's been enslaving me
Give me just a little peace of mind
Now there's nothing I won't do
Take my word, I'll follow through
Of every little detail I'm aware
Eat'em up and spit'em out, to no one I am devout
Good or bad, I don't really care
I don't think that I'll ever learn
Only trouble in my way
Danger lurking around every turn
And it's growing every day
I can't say what it is that I've been looking for
Maybe just a little peace of mind
As I fade away from the life that's been enslaving me
Give me just a little peace of mind
I don't know if I'll ever learn
Only trouble in my way
Danger lurking around every turn
And it's growing every day
I can't say what it is that I've been looking for
Maybe just a little peace of mind
As I fade away from the life that's been enslaving me
Give me just a little peace of mind
I can't say what it is that I've been looking for
Maybe just a little peace of mind
As I fade away from the life that's been enslaving me
Give me just a little peace of mine

Time After Time

Little child, you're all alone
With no one to hold
All the hope you've held deep inside
Has left you out on the cold
I'll take your tears
And I'll wash all your fears away
I see the light shining down
As the fear and the pain fade away
Time after time after time
Little child, there's nowhere to turn
Is there somewhere to hide
Close your eyes and try to forget
The world has pushed you aside
I'll take your tears
And I'll wash all your fears away
I see the light shining down
As the fear and the pain fade away
Time after time after time
Time after time after time
Time after time after time after time after time after time after time
Time after time after time after time after time after time after time
Time after time after time after time after time after time after time
Time after time after time after time after time after time after time

Losing Sight

Another day has come and gone
Nothing is the same
Every night a turning of the page
Watching as the sky rolls by into a new demise
What's going on, it's tearing up our lives
I can't go on thinking everything is alright
If we give in to fear, we're losing sight
Stand up and fight
Waiting for the sun to rise into a new tomorrow
The hope of something better on the way
Haunting memories on my mind
I'm never giving in
Every page that's turned
Are lessons that we've learned
I can't go on thinking everything will be alright
If we give in to fear, we're losing sight
Stand up and fight
I can't go on thinking everything will be alright
If we give in to fear, we're losing sight
I can't go on thinking everything will be alright
If we give in to fear, we're losing sight
Stand up and fight

Betrayed

Left here for dead, hanging on by a thread
No looking back anymore
Out of my mind, didn't know what I'd find
All the signs that I tried to ignore
Betrayed, turned I was stabbed in the back
Betrayed, without warning they sprung and attacked
Repay, I'm not letting anything slide
I won't be a fool anymore
Back in the game, nothing's ever the same
Lessons were learned one more time
No more letting me down, I've been two times around
Opened my eyes to remind me
Betrayed, turned I was stabbed in the back
Betrayed, without warning they sprung and attacked
Repay, I'm not letting anything slide
I won't be a fool anymore
Fool anymore
Left here for dead, hanging on by a thread
No looking back anymore
Out of my mind, didn't know what I'd find
All of the signs that I tried to ignore
Betrayed, turned I was stabbed in the back
Betrayed, without warning they sprung and attacked
Repay, I'm not letting anything slide
I won't be a fool anymore
Betrayed, turned I was stabbed in the back
Betrayed, without warning they sprung and attacked
Repay, I'm not letting anything slide
I won't be a fool anymore
No playing the fool anymore
